Susan Wolf thinks that that meaning has both a subjective and
an objective component. On one hand, a person must enjoy,
appreciate, or, in some broad sense, engage positively with
something in order for it to contribute to their life’s meaning.
On the other hand, they must be making an objective
contribution to something that is valuable on its own, not
something valuable just for how it benefits them. Meaningful
lives participate in something larger than the individual whose
life it is. Begin your paper by explaining the "passion view," the
"larger than oneself view," and Wolf's own hybrid view of
meaning in life.
Then, give your own example of something that does or could
ass extraordinary meaning to your life. Do not use Wolf's own
examples - be creative! Explain how that thing conforms to
Wolf's hybrid theory of meaning in life. Then identify what you
think is the biggest obstacle to living a meaningful life in
today's society. Why is it such a big obstacle? This can be
either an obstacle that you yourself are facing or something that
you think prevents other people from living a life that is as
meaningful as it could be.
